The mission of the EV Challenge is to energize high school students about engineering through a real world electric vehicle program. Established in 1995, the Electric Vehicle Challenge is an incredibly inspiring and high profile education program where high school students:

Build full-size and small-scale plug-in electric vehicles,

Participate in a yearlong educational program and competition, and

Learn numerous skills including applied engineering and environmental science, electrical troubleshooting, public speaking, and community service.

The EV Challenge provides teachers with materials for a yearlong educational program including curriculum materials, seminars, a competition, and fundraising support. The program is often a life-changer for students and has a significant positive impact on their experience of science and engineering. Recent research indicates that:

84% of the students become more confident in their ability to learn science.

68% of the students become higher performers in their science class.

34% of the students are more likely to pursue a career in engineering.
